この下はカラーワークショップのご紹介です。

The new 5-day color workshop has finished successfully . The first day began with a talk about the history of color theory, which stretches back thousands of years and includes some of the greatest thinkers in history, like Aristotle, Newton, and Da Vinci. The students made their own color wheel which was the first time any of them had made one, much to my surprise. After a few simple color exercises they were ready to begin a project which teaches them the practical application of color theory through the process of mixing their own colors. You can see some of the students working on their projects below. As the students learned about how to find colors in other colors, they sometimes shrieked with amazement. One woman was shocked to discover that navy blue is made from a mixture of blue and orange. Everyone was surprised by the color beige. It has so many colors in it and isn't at all what they expected. They worked on this project for 3 days.

カラーワークショップが開催中されました。初日は、アリストテレスやニュートン、ダ・ヴィンチなどの色彩論について学び、そのあとで、カラーウイール（＝色環）を作りました。下の写真は受講生たちが色について学んでいるところです。例えば、ネイヴィー・ブルーですが、これはなんと青とオレンジの混色なのですね

On the 4th and 5th day, everyone painted a still life and learned about the effects of grounds, complements, and reflected color as well. Here are their masterpieces below. ４日目、５日目は静物を描きながら色の効果について学びます。

None of the students had used paint since they were children and had never painted a still life before. They said that the drawing workshop had taught them to see details and negative space, but the color workshop taught them to see even more. Now they can mix any color they want in order to match anything at all that they want to paint. All they have to do now is work on refining their painting techniques. 今回参加の受講生たちは、子供の頃を除くと 絵の具を使ったことも、また静物を描いた経験もない人々でした。ドローイングのワークショップが、「細部の観察」や「ネガティブ・スペース」について学ぶものだとすると、今回のカラーワークショップは、対象をより良く観察することを助けます。 参加者の作品を、大きくご覧になりたい方は 下記をクリックしてください。 Images of each students' work
